Yes, I got that. Which is what made her lack of awareness of her own sexual charisma even more baffling when thinking about it. Assume it's only self-pleasure that's the line is referring to. You're saying, yep everyone only masturbates so they're not attracted to other women and wouldn't have any awareness of their own sexual charisma and lack lust.

However we all know it's a wink and a nod to lesbianism and bisexuality. Which makes her lack of awareness just a scriptwriter throwing in a, "heh, lesbians," joke without considering the implications of the line. That makes it pretty patriarchal and separate from the interpretation of those who have latched onto it as a "go girl" moment. Wonder Woman isn't aware of her own sexuality until Rodgers brings it out of her, since she's obviously aware of it in BvS and uses it there.

Well you have to consider she is a beautiful woman from an island of beautiful women. I am not sure how a society like that would handle sexual charisma if at all. Also she was basically the only child on the island and everybody there saw her grow up. I am sure that probably had a fair amount of impact on how others interacted with her.

It's pretty clear that the higher ups on the island know who and what she is. And from the way it is played, I think a lot of the Amazons equally worshipped and feared her. Just watch the training sequence.

I doubt any of them laid a finger on her for fear of what the Queen would do combined with the knowledge that she was basically alive purely to stop Ares.

"We live in a country, where John Lennon takes six bullets in the chest, Yoko Ono was standing right next to him and not one fucking bullet! Explain that to me! Explain that to me, God! Explain it to me, God!" - Denis Leary summing up my feelings about the nature of the universe.

The battleship appeared to be sinking, or at least listing very heavily to one side, so it is possible it either hit an undewater rock, or that crossing the barrier protecting Themiscrya did something to it.

It makes sense if he's a recurring behind-the-scenes villain who various wars and atrocities can be blamed on when the need arises, but if he's the ultimate source of all evil in the world and you kill him, you kind of have a problem telling any more stories after that.

"Nice attempted blast about my "drinking". I do enjoy a nice cuppa, but that is because I am a bon vivant of gregarious nature and cheery disposition." - Ab

The point they made was that he WASN'T the source of all mankind's evil, nor even of the war itself. He stokes the flames, he massages it here and there, but just getting rid of Ares wont end all wars because the problem is with mankind. I do think his defeat might have released some of the natural aggression he causes in those around him, and the Germans hugging the Americans at the end was meant to be a sign of that. That part of it even made me blink a little in the theater, it took me out of the movie immediately.

They also just watched two gods go at it, so maybe they were all just like "holy fuck dudes why are we messing around".

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

They also showed those German soldiers to be basically kids, fighting a war they probably wanted no part of. Whether historically accurate or not, I did get where they were going with it but really my biggest problem was the ending slugfest with british Ares, just seemed poorly implemented plus Area escaping without the fight and having her fight be with something else would have set up a sequel better.

If you take the view that Ares can cause War, but is not the source of all war, then the story works just fine. Under that view, Ares inflamed the Germans to war in this version of World War 1, but when he was lost the Germans lost the inflammation he was bringing. It was sloppy, but so much In these superhero movies ends up needing a sloppy answer to wrap it up within a reasonable time.

WB might as well point a shotgun directly into their collective faces if they don't sign Patty Jenkins up to direct at least one sequel. I mean, it's a fucking no-brainer after the success of the movie.
